Removing Handles

[BlackedOutHemi]

What is the best way to get the handles off of the back doors? I can't seem to get to the second nut. Too much in the way.

Subscribed, this is something I need to know how to do soon. Are you planning on painting yours Eddie?

Already done. . Trying to swap them out. Got the handle off. Now I can't get the second nut back on. To get it off I just disconnected the window track, worked a small 5/16 wrench up to the nut. Turned it, worked it again, turned it, and then loosened the rest by hand.

Was able to get everything off and replaced. That was a lot harder than I imagined. The front handles and mirrors are straight forward. The back handles. Remove the door panel, peel back the plastic, with a 5/16 wrench loosen the first nut that is easily accessible, and then undo it the rest of the way with your fingers. Anything dropped can be easily retrieved by peeling back the bottom of the plastic and reaching into the bottom of the door. Next. The pita nut. Undo the top corner bolt with a 10mm socket. Push it back further into the door. Next, place a flash light in the bottom of the door facing up, and then pull up on the handle as if opening the door, and maneuver the wrench to the nut, slide the open end over it, turn to loosen, lift it up just enough to get it off the nut, but not away from the bolt, and then put it down again to turn again. After these you should be able to unscrew it by hand.

You sir have good taste, I painted my cowls just last weekend too.

Do the tow mirrors still have the textured feel?

What all has to be taken off to get the cowl? Might throw that in to be painted too.

Just take the wipers off and there are like 6 plastic screws u pop out under the hood then u disconnect the washer lines and it should come off in 2 pieces.
